MOUNTAINS: Low: 0s/10s; High: 30s/40s. Beautiful Christmas Day weather for the higher elevations of Southern Colorado. While we won't see any new snow on Friday, there will still be plenty of snow on the ground from past storms to brighten the holiday spirit.
Extended Outlook:
Highs on Saturday will be another couple of degrees warmer than Friday, but with increasing winds across the foothills and mountains. A weak disturbance will spread light snow showers into our state's northern and central mountain ranges, with the snow letting up by Sunday morning. Sunday will be a transition day for the rest of us as our weather turns windy and cooler. Several chances for snow will follow into early next week, with several inches possible for the Plains and several feet of snow for the mountains.
